How do I download a 1099 as a PDF? Currently, the only option that is possible is as a txt, which displays a lot of scrambled information.

Hi there, lydiamarchuk.

You can try to use another browser and if you are not able to print, follow the steps below.

Here's how to troubleshoot printing PDF error:

Chrome:

1. Open Chrome.
2. Select the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Settings, then Show advanced settings.
4. Under Privacy, select Content settings.
5. Deselect Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application.
6. Select Done.
7. Print your 1099s.

If it still doesn't align, on the print window, select the dropdown for More Settings to verify Fit to the page is not selected in the Scale dropdown.

Firefox:

1. At the top of your Firefox web browser, select the menu icon, ≡, then Add-ons.
2. Select Plugins, if you see PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.2., select the 3 horizontal dots, then select Never Activate.

If you are still having trouble try downloading as a PDF.

When downloading as a PDF, if Adobe is not the application that opens the document:

1. Right-click the PDF
2. Select Open with and choose Adobe from the drop-down list.
3. Print from Adobe where when in the Printer Settings, you can select Page Setup, then select the size of the paper.
